“Looks like Hector’s going to be a little late for school.”

These lines just write themselves.

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

that's right, 3 minutes plot so they could run that "late to school" line.

#monsterdon

Going right to the expensive car stunt. #Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

Yayy! Car stunt!

#Monsterdon

cyberstationwagon no better than a cybertruck lol

#monsterdon #ClassOf1999 #Wallingford1999

It's like Hoarders, but an action movie

#Monsterdon

Amazingly not one single bullet has hit the rear window or the rear of the car. That's some pretty impressive driving.

#monsterdon

Why did the late 80s think gangs of the future were going to dress like Corey Feldman?

#Monsterdon

This movie looks like it might be decent. Trying a new thing with my nails that involves a UV light and powder so I'm not gonna be able to participate.

I'll do what I can but between nails and cleaning up after drooling about Pam Grier, I dunno what I'll be able to do. #Monsterdon

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 "an armed society is a polite society" eeeehhhhhh

@Lazarou I mean this is how we describe our childhoods from the era.

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 #Wallingford1999

oh wow, mad max with some style and a suburban footprint #Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

@paco Movie psychology

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

What Republicans want you to believe the Cap Hill Occupied Protest was like

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

So, which is more a vapid song?

#monsterdon #ClassOf1999

*brandishes a bag full of ballpoint pen caps* Wanna get high?

#monsterdon

"No Police Protection" Okay, technically that's true everywhere including here & now. #Monsterdon

90s fake drug names are the best. Have some Edge, man. You wanna do some Skin? Hey man, this Snot is radical!

#monsterdon

apparently Head Like A Hole is featured in this movie #monsterdon

they are now further back up west seattle which is kind of a lol whut

#monsterdon #ClassOf1999 #Wallingford1999

In my life, I have seen zero people wear a belt like that non-ironically.

#monsterdon

He’s a bad little dude. Trades Warez in the BBS and everything!

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 #Wallingford1999

America goes back and forth on whether it is a good idea to have #Terminator teach High School.

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

Is that Malcolm McDowell? No matter what era of his career you see him in, he always looks 65.

#monsterdon

His bisexual ally. #Monsterdon

There are like, real actors in this. I might not be prepared for this level of quality. #Monsterdon

That guy's silver rat tail is a muskrat, bordering on a full beaver

#Monsterdon

I'm loving that the company name is Megatech.

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

Department of Educational Defense

DED

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

I had a rat-tail like that in 1987. Pretty sure those were out of fashion by 1990.

#monsterdon

one MILLION megabytes of RAW POWER #monsterdon

"...one million megabytes!"
"Oh, so a 1TB SD card."

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

Thank you, Annunaki McMullet

#Monsterdon

Malcolm MacDowell, I wonder if he's playing a bad guy

#monsterdon

No way we could afford RAM like that these days.

#Monsterdon

XT6? Wow these babies are fully loaded!

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 #Wallingford1999

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 mother-effing PAM GRIER

"Super teachers" hahahahahaha

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

I'm reminded of the intro of robocop (vaguely)

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

Wow! What a stylish gentleman

#classof1999 #monsterdon

Malcolm McDowell?!

boy he slummed it!

#Monsterdon

Megatech is like the sci-fi equivalent of Acme. like, what do you expect when you hire a company called Megatech.

#monsterdon #ClassOf1999

Does the mustache match the drapes? No it does not. #monsterdon

It's costing us buckets having Kurt Russell parachute these kids into school every day

#Monsterdon

lol, sounds like the Man telling lies about Anarchism

OMG that hair!

#Monsterdon

omg that hair!!!!!!!!!!

#monsterdon

YOUR high school???

#monsterdon

We shall respond to rising violence by denying children an education.

Um. Okay. That's a choice. #Monsterdon

I get the feeling at no point in this movie will there be a suggestion of gun control.

#monsterdon

So this movie has droogs?

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

“To graduate is to survive”

Well then

Friends, foes, country people, #Monsterdon is starting. You know the drill. Mute me, mute the tag, or prepare for a heck ton of posts about [checks notes] militant robot teachers

We're going to party like it's the Class Of 1999!

#monsterdon
#ClassOf1999

Ok. Let’s go BACK TO SCHOOL with Rodney Dangerf…

*gets handed note

Oh. It’s Class of 1999. Sorry.

#Monsterdon

@BenjaminKlein although the #Monsterdon post about napalm-like paintballs...
That would be SO FUCKING SATISFYING.

"Maybe I want to be a waybot instead" #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

New theory is the lady teacher cyborg is liquid metal and mimicked Emmett #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Emmett: "I wonder why that guy wanted the leftover ketchup from my burger on his ring" #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Still desperately hoping she's the cyborg, otherwise I'm going to have another one of those "huh, guess I really am wasting my life" moments #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Actual "gasoline filled" paintballs would be a lot more napalm-like #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

So far the dumpster garbage is period accurate for Bend and/or Seattle 1992 #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Was bike guy in the first movie or is he just so generic i can't remember him either way #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Chekov's Oops #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

This is like the basement bunker scene from T2... if it was set in and stocked by a Dollar Tree #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Emmet can walk at superhuman speeds! #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Mmmm, gasoline filled, my favorite kind of donut #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

This is the activation phrasebook which is why he made sure she got it (in the much better movie in my head) #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Wow. Am I team mullet or team ‘stache? Delay starting #Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 off on a high note.

"Stay out of my garbage" James Cameron yelling at the writer as he ran away with his rejected script trashcans #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

I had never heard of Midge Ure before this, but I'm guessing from the responses that this is a deep cut in his discography.

#monsterdon

The fact that they're going out of the way to imply he's the murder cyborg just makes me more convinced he's the DED agent tasked with getting close enough to take her out #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

If he is the murder cyborg and he's the most sympathetic character that does not bode well #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

THE CHARACTERS PORTRAYED AND THE NAMES USED HEREIN ARE RIDICULOUS AND ANY SIMILARITY TO REALITY, PLOT LINES, OR HISTORY OF ANY PERSON IS ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL AND UNINTENTIONAL

#monsterdon

Woof.

This Monsterdon was sure past its sell by and expiration dates.

#monsterdon #classof1999

"You like tormenting people? Sure, we all do!" #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

"accidental discharge" aka the first movie #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

"I'm the only one that saw it because I have cyborg xray eyes" #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Like, it's not even subtle, the first one ripped off the Terminator whereas this one is unimaginatively obligated to rip off T2 where the thing you think is the villain is the hero #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

PTSD!

#Monsterdon
#ClassOf1999_II

Oh yeah my #MonsterdonBingo card

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999

He's a substitute for Reese!! Of course he's the hero! #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

@Taweret Thank you for hosting! :D

#monsterdon

"What was I suppose to do? Stand there and let him molest you? I can do that better!"

#Monsterdon
#ClassOf1999_II

@crowbriarhexe
Yes. Exactly!

#Monsterdon

toonces?

#monsterdon

@himbovoorhees If you are familiar with r/AITA, then this is one of those ETA* cases.

Calling it now, this guy is human, was wearing a bulletproof vest, and is hunting the actual cyborg #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Murderdorid pornomag...

#Monsterdon
#ClassOf1999_II

@jenk3.bsky.social lol

but no, it was shot in 1990, so has some decently old school going on

#monsterdon #ClassOf1999 #Wallingford1999

Early Cyborgs Over Monroeville #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Just hanging an LED on the whole Terminator thing this time, huh #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 so this Blu-ray has over 90 minutes of bonus features that I haven't watched

but .....
.....

i might later just for funsies >:-D

@Louisa And he wrote The Final Girls, which was pretty fun. If it's the same guy https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0588679 #monsterdon #classof1999

Legal trouble for "President Clinton"? In 1992?? Clearly science fiction #Monsterdon #ClassOf19992

Wait did I see the sequel too...
*duckduckgos a synopsis*
Oh yeah I did. And was disappointed by the ending. Yeah I'm gonna skip the double feature tonight.
#Monsterdon #Classof1999two

@himbovoorhees There was a protagonist?

#Monsterdon

Bah! So close. 😖

#Monsterdon #ClassOf1999 #MonsterdonBingo

#monsterdon oh, and I figured out that shitty little kid was in Teen Witch

@rl_dane
He's played a lot of villains, although in this movie, he was more of a patsy for the villain.

#Monsterdon

I am not a fan of gore at the best of times. My tolerance for such is…limited. And from that #Monsterdon toot I boosted, it sounded like I’d be past that limit really quickly…
